Chapter 3 Flashcards
Prokaryotes
Does not have a nucleus
No membrane bound organelles
cell theory
All organisms are made of cells
All cells are produced by other living things
The cell is the most basic unit of life
Eukaryotes
Has a nucleus
Has membrane bound organelles
What plant cells have that that animals don’t
Cell wall
Chloroplast
Vacuoles
Mitochondria
Supplies energy to the cell
Smooth ER
Thin folded membranes with no chromosomes
Vacuole
Fluid filled sac used for storage or materials needed by the cell
Golgi apparatus
Processes, sorts, and delivers proteins
Cell membrane
Separates cell from external environment.
Rough ER
Folded membranes covered in ribosomes
Nucleolus
Where organelles essential for making proteins area assembled
Nucleus
StoRes DNA
Vesicle
Holds and transports materials from place to place
Cytoskeleton
A network of proteins that changes to meet the needs of the cell
Chloroplast
Conducts photosyntheis for the cell
Central vacuole
Fluid filled sad that supports the cell.
Cell wall
Provides rigid support
Ribosome
Links amino acids to make proteins
Centrosome
Produces microtubles
Cell membrane structure
A double layer of phospholipids intertwined with proteins, a carbohydrate chain, a protein channel, cholesterol, and cytoskeleton proteins
Selectively permeable
Allows some, but not all materials to cross
Concentration gradient
Th difference in the concentration of substance from one location to another
Active transport
Drives a molecule across a membrane from a region of higher concentration to lower
Passive transport
Movement of molecules across a membrane without using energy
